The 38-year-old star – who plays Tracy Barlow in the ITV soap – admitted she doesn't enjoy being single and would "like to be married again".

Kate said in a recent interview: "I don’t particularly like being single. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of family life and I’d like to be married again."

The actress married TV producer Jon Connerty on October 13 2007, and they have a six-year-old son, Otis, together. 

Revealing that her single status made her change the way she thinks about ageing, Kate added: "Ageing bothered me less when I was married. "Being older and single is harder than being 25 and single".

She continued: "You feel it’s more daunting to start again when you’re approaching 40 than when you’re approaching 30. That’s one thing that has made my marriage break-up harder."

The street minx – who has played Tracy since 2002 – revealed she has no problem stripping off on screen, but she does in real life.

"In Coronation Street it’s never too explicit or risque, it’s not Fifty Shades of Grey," she told Woman magazine.

"I did a scene in stockings, but I didn’t find it scary. I’d feel nervous on a beach in a bikini, but I’m not nervous in ­underwear as Tracey… it’s not me."
